The important of compliance

Whatever your requirements or situation, our team at BES Group can support you in ensuring and maintaining complete compliance for your tankers. By being compliant, you could avoid:

  • Accidents and spills: Leaking tankers can cause accidents and spills, which can pollute the environment, damage property, and injure people.
  • Fines and penalties: Failure to comply with tanker testing regulations can result in fines and penalties from government agencies.
  • Damage to your reputation: A tanker accident or spill can damage your reputation and make it difficult to do business.
  • Loss of customers: Customers may be reluctant to do business with a company that has a history of tanker accidents or spills.

Regular tanker testing is essential for staying compliant with regulations and avoiding these risks.

Maintaining compliance

Regular inspections and testing of road tankers are crucial for ADR compliance, ensuring the safe transport of dangerous goods. Adhering to these standards helps avoid fines and penalties, demonstrating a commitment to legal requirements.

Ensuring safety

Regular inspections and testing help protect your tanker fleet by identifying defects early, reducing the risk of leaks, fires, or explosions. This proactive approach ensures the safety of employees, the public, and the environment.

Cost savings

Preventative maintenance is more cost-effective than reactive repairs. Regular inspections catch minor issues early, preventing costly repairs, downtime, and operational disruptions. Addressing problems proactively saves money and ensures smoother operations.
